Ummm, so can I just say I am sooo sorry about the long wait? Unfortunately real life caught up to me. I was failing two classes, so I got grounded from the computer. Yeah it sucks. But I promise to update more often but it will not be as often as before. To make up for it I put in some Edward for you! And this is the longest chapter I have written so far, so enjoy!
In one quick second nothing mattered. I didn't care about the fact that this was an audition and I was supposed to be dead. Rosalie wanting to be with Edward didn't even register in my mind. Most importantly, Jacob didn't even exist. All that mattered was Edward, not Romeo, Edward.
His smooth lips moved in sync with mine. His chiseled abdomen was pressed against my smooth stomach. My hands were moving at their own accord in his soft hair twisting and pulling on strands, while his were sliding down my side and ended up on my waist. Our lips were being pulled together like gravity, and even the need for air didn't seem to be important enough to give up his lips. This was heaven, and I never wanted it to end. Unfortunately for me, a loud cough from had me falling from Cloud 9 and back to Earth, very fast.
My eyes flew open with realization of what I had just done. I had betrayed my best friend and my boyfriend.
Edward rolled off of me, stood up, and offered me a hand. I reluctantly gave him my hand with a look of horror on my face with my reverie still fresh in my mind.
"Thank you Edward for coming. We will let you know tomorrow whether or not you got the part," Ms. Cope finally said.
Edward looked at me, down, and then back up and gave the most dazzling crooked smile I've ever seen in my life. I followed the path of his eyes and realized my hand was still intertwined with his from when he was helping me up. I flushed a brilliant shade of crimson while releasing his hand.
He replied to Ms. Cope in his velvety voice, "Of course Ms. Cope, and thank you for the opportunity." He then walked out of the door without looking back.
I quickly turned to Ms Cope and declared, "He has to be Romeo." She gave me a look that said she wasn't sure.
"I don't know Bella. Is that how you're going to act when you're supposed to be dead if he plays Romeo?"
"Of course not! I was just caught up in how amazing he was playing Romeo and I was in Juliet's mind set so of course I responded as if I were Juliet and I could hear everything he was saying. I just need to practice not getting to caught up in it. And besides, he was by far the best and you know it," I lied smoothly through my teeth.
"He was the best, but I'm just not sure…"
Before I even realized what I was doing I blurted out, "I won't do this play unless Edward's Romeo." What was I saying? Of course I would do the play! It just wouldn't feel quite right.
"Well if that's how it's going to be I guess I have no choice."
Before I could retract my previous statement she blurted out, "Edward will be our Romeo."
I couldn't explain this feeling. I was just so exceedingly happy that he got the part. I knew my face instantly lit up as I went to hug muttering thank yous and how we wouldn't disappoint her. I couldn't shake this feeling of pure joy for some odd reason, I was just so ecstatic!
I left shortly after and sang along to the radio in my car the whole way home. The rest of the day went by in a blur. I texted Jake, Alice, and Rose about getting the part and they all replied with congratulations. I think Charlie picked up on my good mood when I called him Daddy, but didn't say anything about it. After I had eaten dinner with Charlie I went to my room to do my homework then begin memorizing my lines.
The next thing I knew there was sunlight streaming through my window. I glanced at my clock and it said it was 7:43. Holy crap, I'm late! I only have 17 minutes to be at school and it's a fifteen minute drive in my truck! I quickly hopped out of bed which was not a good idea, as I fell flat on my face. I did not need this today! I quickly threw on some jeans and a shirt and put my hair in a ponytail. 7:48, okay I just have to hurry to school. I kept pushing my foot down harder against the gas, but my truck refused to move faster than 55mph. I finally got to the school at 8:02. I raced to the classroom but was still late.
"Thank you for joining us for the good news, Bella. Would you please take your seat now?" Ms. Cope was looking at me over her glasses.
"Umm, of course... sorry…" I muttered before taking my seat next to Edward.
"As I was saying, everyone that tried out yesterday for Romeo was amazing and this was a very hard decision to make," I tried not to scoff, "but I am positive in my choice so congratulations to Edward!" The class clapped and he nodded appreciatively with a smug smile. I guess he knew after my reaction yesterday that he had gotten the part.
While Ms. Cope drabbled on about who the rest of the cast was, I stared at Edward. My dreams did not do him justice. He was perfectly still listening to Ms. Cope. He was so gorgeous; no one could deny him that. His hair looked like he just woke up, but every strand was perfectly placed. He wore a gray V –neck that fit his body perfectly, showing every muscle. His eyes were a brilliant emerald, and his mouth was smirking. Was he watching me watch him? I quickly turned my head and his smile became even broader showing his perfectly white teeth. I was like a moth to a light, I had no choice. I had to turn and smile back at him. We stayed like that, just staring and smiling, for about another two minutes, only stopping because announced we would have the rest of the period to do as we please.
That's when Edward talked, "Hi, I don't believe we ever formally met. My name is Edward Cullen. And you are Bella Swan, correct?"
All I could do was nod.
"Well now that we have formally met Bella, I believe we should get to know each other, seeing as you are the Juliet to my Romeo," he proclaimed with a smirk.
"Umm...okay?" It sounded more like a question than an answer but I couldn't help it, I was too busy staring at how his lips curved just a wee bit more to the right than the left, it was adorable.
With that brilliant smile still in place he scooted his desk closer to mine.
"What do you want to know?" I asked sheepishly, while forcing myself to look away from his mouth to his eyes. Wow, his eyes were even more dazzling then his lips.
While looking me square in the eye, and that dazzling smile still in place, he replied, "Everything."
Reviews are greatly appreciated. Anyone have any idea for my inspiration now?
